ECE 340
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
"Loves questions" but then immediately say how this was "elementary". Gave me a 2 minute lecture during class about how I should've done the homework when I asked if the I should be V. 10 minutes later, someone else asked and he said "whoops, sometimes I mix up the letters". He held a roast for himself prior to finals. Also would show his Strava.

Poor attitude and condescending when you ask him a question. Asked him for help with a problem and it gave flashbacks to when your parents were getting angry trying to help you understand addition in 1st grade as you cried. After we submitted the answer from his help, it was wrong. If you have to take his class, ask for help from the TA's.

I'm commenting back after working 2 years in industry after deg in Computer Eng. Thinking back on my undergrad, his main concepts are pretty spot on. Back then I was still trying to reinvent the wheel, his lectures were already way ahead.

Yea its true that he talks with this weird condescending way of talking. There were times I was just confused on how to start, and there would be a weird/bad atmosphere. The TAs were very helpful 10/10. It ended up that I would scout the room to only raise my hand if a TA was near and he was looking/at somewhere else.
